Who daily drives their 20 inch wheels
I daily drive my mustang and take it really everywhere. Mountains, across country, to the zoo, everywhere. It's my grocery getter. Not concerned about track performance, can always swap wheels/tires.
Plan on running S/Ced with 4.10s to cure the sluggishness off the line but I want to make sure the only people that run 20s aren't just weekend cruisers or good weather riders before I hit the "Buy Now" button.
Currently on oem 19s with oem rubber and my girlfriend says the ride is fantastic. She easily slept through our 2 hour vacation drive. I'm thinking the loss going to 20s will be more than tolerable. ALL feedback is welcomed.

I had BFGoodrich g-Force Sport comp-2 245/35ZR20. They weren't too bad. A lot different from factory, but they look good, and don't make much noise. Depends on width of wheel....are you wanting a staggered look? I had 8.5" up front and 11" in the back. And they aren't too bad from season to season.

I'm looking to run staggered. 255/35/20 fronts and 295/30/20 rears. I want a completely level look and these are exactly the same height to the millimeter so says my calculator. I'm going to put some Toyo Proxes 4 on as the reviews are great and the price is also fantastic. I don't live in the city and don't commute there much unless to take my girlfriend shopping. If the ride quality is close to 19s and or I can improve it with some springs and konis I'll be very happy.

www.tirebuyer.com has the best prices. I have bought 3 sets of tires for our DD's and have had them within 23 hrs after ordering them. Plus they have free shipping and had cheaper prices than tirerack. Trust me, my husband always looks for the best deals. We will be tirebuyer.com customers for life.

I suggest www.discounttiredirect.com they do price matching as well. Also if your going with the toyo's I would get the tire replacement certificates as the toyo's are not backed by the manufacturer for defects. They are considered performance tires. Personally I had a set of those and had problems with no help from the manufacturer. there are better tires out there.

I have those exact tires in that exact size. Been riding on them since like February I think. Daily driven, and just did Shenandoah, as well as Boston and back to DC twice.
No complaints.

I daily drive on 20's running 255/35 ZR Dunlop. Now the roads were I live are terrible at best. Got no problem but I have the track pack suspension. On smooth roads their awesome, on rough un even roads still not too bad. It seams with the 20's its easier to throw the car around due to the short side wall.
